Sweater Aurelio

Sweater Aurelio originated after my first meeting with Ricardo & Rita from Roll up the sheep in Munich.
Ricardo desired to have his 30-year-old favourite sweater knitted using his own yarn. Shortly after the festival, I got to work and designed a modern top-down knitted model with the pattern of his dreams.
I am delighted to see many new favourite sweaters come to life through my instructions.

General Information for Construction
Sweater Aurelio features a top-down raglan construction. After a few rows to shape the neckline, the work is joined and continued in rounds. Once the desired depth for the armholes is reached, the sleeve stitches are put on hold. The body is then worked in rounds until the desired length is achieved, and it is Islandic cast off after the ribbing. Afterward, the sleeves are placed back onto the needle and knit in rounds for the cuff. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckline, and another ribbing is added there as well.
